I respect you opinion - thanks.
I do disagree though, especially with “This is especially true since the comment is really not aimed so much at Palin as much as it is aimed at those who admire her. “
The comment was aimed DIRECTLY at Willow with the intent to cause the utmost in discomfort.
Thanks for the compliment.
Letterman and his writers are doing what they do because of who and what Palin represents. Limbaugh says this all the time and he is correct about it. When they attack him they’re really attacking his audience.
Letterman’s comment about Palin is no different than a remark about Palin when she was in Philly just before the election. A local “grassroots” organization that just happened to be run by a former labor union organizer called her a c**t.
Palin is a symbol of a group of people the leftwing detests. Conservatives need to understand that they’re the target not Palin.
Limbaugh and Palin are nothing without those they represent.
Conservatives also need to learn how to speak out. Other than FR, some talkshow hosts. some thinktank types and a few journalists like myself (and I’m a registered Democrat) there are few on the right who say anything.
Witness the lack of response by Republican politicians to the New Black Panther Party voter intimidation case.
How’s is that matrimonial line go “ speak now or forever hold your peace?”
